This is the twenty-seventh article in the Whoa!Canada: Proportional Representation Series
Too many things are happening at once, but it is critical to continue to press the Liberal Government for Proportional Representation.
It appears the Government will do what it can to avoid implementing electoral reform, so When the Liberal Government’s electoral reform postcards arrive, it is very important to discover where the ambiguity in the survey will be. I’ll try to post information here, but I caution Canadians to look around and see what is discussed online about the survey, and certainly listen to what Fair Vote has to say before filling it in.
We have just seen the government of PEI decide not to honour the vote so this is a critical juncture. We can’t afford not to have representation.
As well as personally calling your MP, this would be a good time to share any pro-PR graphics you see on whatever social media you use. Share, and share again. (Please note: both Facebook and Twitter don’t share everything we post with everyone in our network, so posting again later is a good practise.
Please feel free to share any of my original graphics available in my PR 4 Canada album on Flickr (and which I will continue adding to). The more noise we make, the better!
(Think how much easier it will be when we have representatives who represent us!)

Upcoming Stop Kinder Morgan Pipeline vigils (November 21st, 2016) – All across Canada
Within weeks Justin Trudeau will be making a decision on whether Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion will be approved or not. What is this pipeline?
Upon completion, the Trans Mountain pipeline system would transport more than 890,000 barrels a day of primarily diluted bitumen from the Alberta oilsands to B.C.’s west coast. Most of this heavy oil is destined for Westridge dock in Burnaby, where it would be loaded onto oil tankers that would navigate past Vancouver, the Gulf Islands and Victoria before reaching open ocean.
The expansion would increase oil tanker traffic from around 60 per year to more than 400 per year.
[…]
In a few weeks, Prime Minister Trudeau will make a choice; deny climate change or act on it. His choice comes in the form of an 890,000 barrel per day pipeline called Kinder Morgan. Larger than the Keystone XL pipeline, it will have the same climate impact as adding over 30 million new cars to Canada’s roads. Approving this pipeline would be an act of climate denial.
